The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State by Nadia Murad
5.0
I just finished reading this book in one sitting and I am so disgusted at humanity I think I might just vomit. I knew what to expecting going into this, and I have read books similar to the horrific acts done by ISIS, but it never gets easier to read another story.
Nadia is a remarkable survivor and truly a great receipt for the Nobel peace prize. Her book is a testament to the strength of women and the willingness of humans to simply survive in times of brutality.
Her story kept me on edge. The first half of the book could be slower because she is giving context on her life, the history of Iraq and her Yazadi heritage. It is a great way to learn about the issues facing Iraq and why the country is so torn apart. The second half the book is super fast paced and will pull your heart strings.
Highly recommend this book.
